Product Information

Full details

The Wolf Tooth B-RAD 4-Slot Mounting Base is designed for gravel, mountain, and road cyclists who need to optimize their bike storage beyond standard frame bosses. This robust aluminum base attaches to existing bottle cage mounts, offering a modular solution to reposition bottles or carry extra gear and accessories securely. While it provides unparalleled flexibility for bikepacking and long-distance riding, users should be mindful that adding accessories to the base may affect the overall weight distribution or clearance of the bicycle frame.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity for this mount?

The Wolf Tooth B-RAD 4-Slot Mounting Base supports a maximum load capacity of 1700g.

Does this base come with mounting bolts?

Yes, it is designed to use standard M5 hardware that typically comes with bottle cage mounts or is included in the packaging.

Can I use this on a carbon fiber frame?

Yes, it is compatible with carbon frames, but ensure you do not exceed the torque specification of 3-4 Nm to avoid damaging the frame's rivnuts.

Is this compatible with non-Wolf Tooth accessories?

The base is designed for the B-RAD ecosystem; while other accessories might fit, functionality and security are only guaranteed with genuine Wolf Tooth B-RAD products.

How do I determine the best position for the base?

Determine your needs based on bottle clearance or accessory accessibility, mount it loosely, check for pedal or frame interference, and then torque to final spec.

Troubleshooting

Base rattles or moves during a ride

Verify that the mounting bolts are torqued to the recommended 3-4 Nm and ensure that the base is sitting flush against the frame surface.

Accessory is loose on the B-RAD slot

Ensure that the hardware provided with your specific B-RAD accessory is fully tightened and that the sliding nut is properly engaged within the slot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly adjustable positioning for cage and accessory placement
Lightweight yet durable construction

Simple installation on standard bottle cage bosses

Requires careful planning for frame clearance
Adds weight to the frame when fully loaded

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward as the base utilizes standard M5 bottle cage bolts. Align the slots with your frame's existing mounts, insert the bolts, and tighten to a specification of 3-4 Nm using a torque wrench. Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the frame inserts. Compatibility is universal for standard 64mm bottle cage spacing. Regarding care, periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness, especially after riding on rough, vibration-heavy terrain. If you are using the base in wet or muddy conditions, consider cleaning the mounting surface of the frame to prevent debris buildup between the base and the bike tubing.
